[It's taken him a while to work out whether he wants to actually say anything to Banjou or not, regarding a few things he's heard; the usual strategy of "don't say a damn thing and let him work it out on his own" has been working splendidly, after all, and he sees no reason to fuss with it if it works.
Eventually, however...]
We need to talk. As soon as possible, s'il vous plait.
[Well, despite the fact that the message is roughly as flamboyant as usual, it's probably obvious that this is winning some sort of stupid award for Most Awkward Thing He's Ever Done, congratulations.]
Bonjour, Banjou-san - hopefully this Christmas is finding you well!
Miss Everett is coming over today; you ought to join us, assuming you're not otherwise busy.
[Unlike the last time Tsukiyama got in contact with Banjou for any reason, there's no attempt at softening his approach, nor is there any proper greeting. He's aware that texting across the damn house is a stupid, nonsensical move, but really it's no more nonsensical than the fact that he's locked himself in his room and not really wanting to see anyone right now, and really, this is easier just because he can, in theory, actually look over what he sends before he sends it.
Not that there's any guarantees that he'll do that much, but the thought is there.]
Check the network. You'll know what you're looking for when you see it.
[The last ten days or so have been decidedly better since the entire...incident with the fainting couch and the drapes and everything Tsukiyama has decided to be; it's been reasonably quiet, certainly, save for the occasional sound of frustrated piano playing coming from the study, but at the very least the guy hasn't been hiding and once in a while there are entirely too many potato croquettes in the kitchen because clearly Paula Deino was on to something, and everything is slowly returning to as it should be.
...Apparently that's still not going to stop him from texting from across the house once in a while, presumably so the conversation can't inadvertently involve Miss Everett.]
I want to ask you something sometime.
It's not time-sensitive or terribly important, though it does involve Kaneki-kun - not as things are here, but back home.
[Seeing as his earlier conversation with Tsukiyama didn't go as bad as he was bracing himself for, it's Banjou's turn to get a message from Kaneki a few hours later that same day. He's taken the time to get a little fresh air first since it's actually only slightly below freezing today, which is better than he's seen in a while.]
Can I talk to you for a bit, Banjou-san? Whenever you get the chance, anyway.
[Also, hi, this is...actually the first time he's talked to you since he first got here nearly three weeks ago.]
[Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Banjou! Fortunately, Meridiana's been given the heads-up in advance that the Japanese custom for Valentine's is slightly different than the one she's been expecting, as far as who's supposed to be producing the chocolate and all that.
Consequently, hanging from Banjou's bedroom door in a pretty hand-sewn little bag is a box of chocolates with his name on it, and with a handwritten note attached!]
Mr. Banjou,
Happy Valentine's Day! I do hope this Geery Choco finds you well. In London, the very best chocolate for a valentine is Cadbury's; here it seems to be called CadBurmy's, but I should hope it measures up just the same. I hope you'll please forgive me a bit of my own custom, along with yours; you've been so kind to me that I wanted to give the very best, Geery or not.
[And that's...at least moderately gentler than his texts usually are, even if it's brief; it's better than the usual urgent we need to talk or we have a problem or I need you to do something for me that usually come along with Tsukiyama's attempts at contact, anyway.]
[ It's been a few days since Chie moved into the house, and she quite frankly doesn't the need to inform poor Banjou over there that she isn't a ghoul; she's waiting for him to figure it out on his own because hey, why the hell not and Tsukiyama did pretty much give her the go-ahead to fuck with him.
She's been spending a lot of her time out exploring and taking pictures, but today she's still in the house around lunchtime and Banjou can find her in the living room. It seems that she's checking to see how many Zigzagoons can fit on the couch at the same time. :|a ]
[It's been a couple of days since the last post Tsukiyama made had gone up; he knew he should tell someone about something that had gone on then and he's not entirely sure why he's hesitating. Perhaps it's a sign that he still doesn't trust Banjou as much as he should, perhaps he's just not sure what Banjou would even do about something like this, but...]
I need to talk to you. As soon as possible, s'il vous plait.
It seems a potential problem has arisen, a major one.
[...yeah, you better believe that Kaneki is contacting Banjou the moment this conversation ends. He decides to go with text for now, though. Mostly because that was a lot of talking he and Rin just did and he's...still feeling a little shaky about it.]
Hello, Banjou-san. Do you think you could text me when you aren't busy? There's no rush or anything...I just need to talk to you about something.
[It's been a while since he's been in Goldenrod. The air is almost congested compared to how fresh and free Cianwood felt. Even so, Rin likes it because it felt full of promise and huge opportunities. Maybe this is how people felt when they went to places like New York City!
Rin's standing around one of the little cafes on the street when he decides that now is when he'll finally make that call. He's been in Goldenrod for a while, but he had been exploring with a friend. It was about time he took a moment to do something he had been excited about for quite some time.]
Yo Banjou! Sorry it took me a while, but I'm here!
[There's no real urgency behind the text today; just the same, it's another thing that's being fired across the house for the usual "let's not involve Miss Everett in our hideously awkward affairs" sort of reason.]

Uhm, I'll be in Goldenrod probably the second week of July. Are you gonna be busy around then?
[Kaneki may not be a street performer but Banjou certainly had some truth in that statement. After all, the guy could actually play a guitar!]
